But y'all, I kinda agree with Zook.

Did I just type that? :wacko:

Anyway, if coaches WERE allowed closer contact with the players off the field and outside the season, they might be able to keep their butts out of some of this trouble.
I know there could probably be all kinds of violations arise from such a thing, but SOMEBODY has got to be accountable for these underage kids. I went to a private college and we had probably TOO much supervision, and I understand that college is a time for sowing wild oats and such, but at least for the underage ones coaches need to play a bigger part in their off-campus life.

:twocents:

I agree in a sense too, but if you have discipline on your team (and you don't recruit a bunch of thugs) they know what to expect, and therefore know what to do when they are out of your sight.

They have all the contact they need, they just cannot be at any type practices. They can have meetings with them everyweek individually if need be, they can post a list of do's and don't and if they transgress they can dish out major punishment ( one game for fighting with police is not punishment).

I think the big problem for the public with CF coaches is the same as with US Presidents:

The buck always stops with the Head Coach or the President, but, the thing is, just because the HC or Pres is ultimately responsible doesn't mean they necessarily have a clue what's going on in the modern scheme of things.

Some HCs & Presidents run and know as much as possible about their programs, so you can blame them, as well as hold them responsible.

Other HCs are like Ronnie Reagan, who you can believe when he says he can't remember anything no matter what the crime, because his role wasn't to actually lead, but rather just to be an attractive figure-head with little actual decision-making responsibility.

Reagan was the BEST president I ever had the privilege to vote for!

I'll just pretend you didn't really mean that. ;)

Ronald Reagan was the best President since FDR. Any way you cut he made Clinton and Carter look backwoods and on Clintons part SCUM. Reagon Led and did it with class, he also set the country up for what was a golden decade in the 90's thru his economic reform and thatsa fact Jack or memphisvol or as the blind democrat turns!

The COACHES RECRUIT these kids and therefore responsible for them. The buck stops at the coach for a reason, see first sentence.

Let's not get off on the politics thing, that's what the pub is for (but I do love Reagan).

If you have leadership within your team, these kinds of things can be settled without having the head coach step in. When these kids go out, they have to have the menatlity that not only do I not want to let my coach down, but I dont' wnat to let my team down.

Sadly, though, Volstorm, it has been my experience that peer pressure wins over mentality in most cases. "Thuggery" and underage drinking seem to be as much a part of college/college sports anymore as studying and suceeding, if not more.


MY theory is that big time college sports should be limited to juniors and seniors with two post-grad years of eligibility. Sure the "Superstars" would still bolt for the NFL, but the younger kids would have 2 years to adjust to college life, sow some wild oats and then dedicate themselves to the team. Any academic slackers would be identified by then and chronic lawbreakers could be shown the door. It will never happpen, because my theory is as full of holes as a Gator&#39;s brain, but it&#39;s something to think about.

That blanket statement includes everyone including UT, UGA, AU, UA, UF, LSU and all the rest&#33;

The nature of the sport INVITES trouble. The powers-that-be need to find a way to channel that meanness and confine it to the field.

Don&#39;t you mean the field?
